"Being your apprentice?"

Xia De looked at each other in surprise:

"But I'm not a woman."

"But you are able to use the witch's power, and you are also proficient in space and mathematics, and Miss Galina also praised you for your outstanding ability, and she feels at ease in doing things. I can't think of anyone who is more suitable to be my apprentice than you."

Miss Sylvia counted Shade's advantages one by one.

What she said was indeed very reasonable, but Shad felt that being a correspondence student at St. Byrence was enough for now, and he was still thinking about the position of librarian at the college. Not to mention, if he really dared to promise Miss Sylvia, he didn't even dare to think what Miss Galina would do:

"I'm honored to be favored by you, but I'm sorry, I don't intend to become the witch's apprentice."

Miss Sylvia was not disappointed either:

"You can think about it for a while. The speaker said that I am not mature yet, and my talents have yet to be discovered, so let me not recruit apprentices before the eleventh ring. I can give you time to think about it... Your Excellency the speaker Say, I have the talent to touch the thirteenth level."

Miss Sylvia said, it didn't look like she was joking, she really considered letting Shad be her apprentice.

"If I'm not mistaken, that Princess Margaret is looking forward to becoming your apprentice."

Xia De pointed this out, and the witch shook her head slightly while holding the teacup:

"As I said last night, that girl has no talent. I don't mean she is stupid. Her ring magician talent is very good, and she works hard. But...she is not suitable to be my apprentice. Anjou The girls in the family are very ambitious, but they are really bad at academics. Besides, she cannot touch the mysteries of space at all, and this world will only give special talents to a few people, such as you and me."

The lady is very proud of her talent.

Shad fully understood what she meant:

"Have you ever told her about this?"

"Yes, I told her clearly, but she refused to give up. In fact, even if I don't become my apprentice, I am willing to guide her to go further on the road of ring magician, but no talent is no talent, this It cannot be changed."

"Is this related to our meeting here instead of meeting at the Rothschild Manor where the Princess is staying?"

"Yes, with your existence, try not to let too many people see it. I have very few followers, and some of you can see you, but Margaret is not included. I think Miss Galina, neither Make your existence known to all your followers."

This also means that Shade cannot rely on the relationship of the witch to approach the princess as Shade Hamilton. Regarding the matter of "Guiding Moon" and "Grey Eagle", he still had to figure out a solution by himself.

"Also, you take this"

The witch took an invitation from the side and handed it to Xia De:

"Tomorrow night, the Rothschild Manor will hold a farewell party. All the nobles in Huntington will be invited to attend. I hope you can come too."

"Invite me to participate, is there any special task?"

"There is no mission. Yesterday I handed over the Poison Ivy Maggis of the Pantanal Voodoo Society to the church, but I still don't know why the other party attacked an earl. I don't think they have the guts to The princess of the kingdom will take action, but after all, it is safer, so if you can come, I will be less stressed. But don’t take it too seriously, the church in this diocese will also send people to the banquet tomorrow night, and of course I will Be there, you just have to show up at the party and watch out for anything weird going on."

Xia De accepted the invitation:

"No problem, Saturday night...Okay, I'll put things off for a while."

Then he asked again:

"Excuse me, what do you think of the legend of the 'Goddess of the Lake' around Huntington?"

Miss Sylvia thought for a while, then shook her head slightly:

"I've only heard of this legend, but I don't know the specifics. My followers are mainly active in Willendale. My teacher did not have long-term activities in the Huntington area before his death."

Although a little regretful, Xia De also knows that it is impossible for everyone to provide information:

"I will consider the apprenticeship, but don't expect too much. Also, my local friend, yes, that vampire, Mr. Bernhardt, also mentioned the Pantanal Witch The power of the poison society, I don’t think that kind of loosely structured organization dared to attack the earl of the kingdom, is there any other possibility? For example, did they accept employment?”

"Before handing over the guy with a high bounty on him, I did interrogate him, but the other party was very firm and didn't say anything, and the potion didn't work for him. But judging from the current situation, Pantanal The duchies around the area seem a little dishonest, but we can't be sure that they are them. After all, once it is discovered that the secular regime employs illegal ring warlock groups..."

Miss Sylvia put down her teacup:

"The Inquisition of the Orthodox Church is not a place to joke. Especially, in the modern age where the epic of the poems is taking place, even if the fog of steam covers our civilization, the Inquisition is still the most terrifying institution."

"Hopefully this isn't the beginning of some big conspiracy."

Xia De sighed, frowning and looked out the window. The cloud of war left the Old Continent decades ago, only in peaceful times can the prosperity of the steam revolution be born. In the summer, there was a rebellion within the Cavendish family, and Queen Diana was assassinated in the street for no reason. Now, the death of the Earl of Carsonrick is related to the strange ring warlock organization. It seems that some people are unwilling to live in peace. Even outsiders could not figure out whether the smoke of war would ignite the old continent again.

All Friday morning, Shad stayed in the Owl Library chatting with Miss Sylvia. This young witch with black shawl and short hair has made a lot of achievements in contemporary mathematics research, even published many papers as the first author, and has a high reputation in the academic circles of ordinary people. This is why she can The reason for being hired by the royal family as tutors for the princesses.

And talk about the topic of space thaumaturgy. Miss Sylvia also has insight and insights beyond Xia De's vision. She has a high attainment in space thaumaturgy, and a simple conversation can point out Xia De's many puzzles in the use of space power.

Of course, she couldn't figure out why Shade's "Raglai's Jump" had a longer effect than ordinary ring warlocks, and she pointed out the key to the "Spatial Stability Aura" thaumaturgy:

"Compared to thaumaturgy, this is actually more like some kind of wonderful magic. I suspect it comes from the ancient gods. Maybe we can find its source after consulting the information."

Although Xia De rejected Miss Sylvia's proposal to become an apprentice, he was also very happy to communicate with this great witch. The other party was willing to share knowledge with Shad, and even promised that when the group of them arrived in Tobesk, she could temporarily act as Shad's teacher and teach Shad some knowledge related to witch power.

Compared to Miss Galina and Miss Aurora, Miss Sylvia is indeed more of a scholar. She is extremely capable in speaking and doing things, and her appreciation for Xia De does not come from his particularity, but she thinks that Xia De's logical thinking is like a scholar and mechanical engineer who has undergone strict training:

"If you don't become a ring warlock, but spend your life as an ordinary person, you can definitely contribute to the scientific development of this era."

This is an extremely high rating.

Near noon, Miss Sylvia invited Shad to lunch in the club of the Owl Library, and then the two formally bid farewell. And the whole morning also convinced Xia De that this great witch had no hostility towards him, and even had a high degree of affection for him, so he was relieved.

After leaving the Owl Club, Xia De officially began to explore the legend of the "Goddess of the Lake".

According to the information provided by Mr. Edmond of the Priory and Mr. Bernhardt of the Vampire, the sightings of the "Goddess of the Lake" did not appear next to a specific lake, but randomly appeared between Huntington City and Around the numerous lakes in the Pantanal area.

Due to its proximity to the Pantanal region, Huntington has many lakes in the west, as opposed to the low hills and plains in the east that are full of vineyards. It is impossible for the city to expand to the swampy area in the west, which caused the ancient West End of Huntington City to fail to catch the free ride of the steam age, but it also retained the urban style of the old era.

Steam pipes run here, but the old buildings also reflect Huntington's old glory. Tobesk is a real metropolis in the steam age, Coldwater Harbor is a paradise for adventurers, Fort Midhill is a mountain city, and Huntington is a mixture of vineyards, swamps, and steam, standing on the dividing line of the times City.

Xia De's first stop was not to rush directly to the lake outside the city to try his luck. Mr. Bernhardt contacted a local folklore professor who studied the legend of the "Goddess of the Lake". At the same time, the other party claimed to have really met the so-called "Goddess of the Lake".

In fact, Bernhardt contacted more than this one witness, but only this one is proficient in Delarion, Shad has no other choice, his Carsonric ~lightnovelpub.net~ is not enough In order to allow him to have a long and professional conversation with the locals, you must know that Miss Silvia has been using Delarion just now.

"It seems that whenever I go to a new city, my first stop is always to find the professors of folklore."

Xia De in the carriage thought.

The Kansas Drake professor introduced by Mr. Bernhardt to Shad is an old professor who has retired from the local university. Because he is never married, he lives alone in a single-family house in the old city west of Huntington. It was not a common street-facing apartment in this era, but a courtyard-style building with courtyards, gardens and independent warehouses, located in a dedicated residential block. Although the combined ground area is not comparable to the land of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, it is still enough for the elderly living alone.

Unlike those old folklore professors Shade has seen in the past who are obviously old but still full of vitality, the old Kansas Drake professor who used to work at Huntington College has both legs disabled due to an accident, and now he can only sit Mobility in a wheelchair.

Therefore, when Xia De took his business card and found the door of No. 21 on Chlorella Street in the West End of Huntington City, and rang the bell outside the fence gate, it was a fat maid wearing an apron who opened the door for Xia De.

Inside the fence are trimmed bushes that look like cubes, and behind the bushes is a flat grassland. Although Professor Drake has disabled legs, it seems that his life is still comfortable and comfortable.
